2009 WSOP: $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em Event #4, Day 4 – Steve Sung in Perfect Harmony

The final table of Event #4, $1,000 No-Limit Hold’em, an event which initially drew a non-Main Event record…

BLUFF - To make a bet or raise with a poor hand, in hope that the remaining active player(s) will fold.
OPENERS - Cards in a hand that qualify a player to open the betting.
NUT / NUTS - The best possible hand of a given class. Not a LOCK unless all cards have been dealt. The "nut flush" is the highest possible flush, but might still lose to, e.g., a full house. Usually used in Hold'em games.
BAD-BEAT JACKPOT - In some cardrooms, a prize that is shared by the players in a game, when a very good hand (usually Aces full, or better) is beaten by a higher hand. Jackpots are usually financed by taking a drop ($1 is a common amount) from every pot. A typical division of the jackpot will give the losing hand 50 %, the winning hand 25 %, and the other players at the table share the remaining 25 % of the Jackpot.
CALLER - One who calls. Sometimes used collectively, as in "3 callers".
OVER - A term used in describing two pair or a full house. "Kings over tens" means two pair, kings and tens. "Jacks over", also "Jacks up" describes a hand that is two pair: Jacks with an unspecified lower pair. Also used to describe a full house, distinguishing the three of a kind from the pair. The hand J-J-J-A-A could be described as "Full house, Jacks over Aces".
